Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head (medium size) cauliflower florets
- 1 cup gluten-free flour
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 0.25 cup hot sauce
- 1 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
- oil spray (for greasing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly spray the parchment paper with oil spray.
Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix well.
Add unsweetened almond milk and hot sauce to the dry ingredients and whisk to form a smooth batter.
Place the gluten-free breadcrumbs in a separate shallow bowl.
Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated, then roll it in the breadcrumbs, gently pressing to adhere.
Place the coated cauliflower florets onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap.
Lightly spray the tops of the cauliflower with oil spray.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then flip the florets to bake the other side for an additional 15 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
